How much does ShoutOUT cost?

ShoutOUT costs $2.99 a month, and is billed by Verizon through your phone bill. The $2.99 monthly subscription fee allows you to use ShoutOUT without limits, as often as you like. If you choose to delete ShoutOUT from your phone, the subscription fee will discontinue and no further costs will occur.

How accurate is ShoutOUT?

ShoutOUT is based on state-of-the-art speech recognition technology, optimized for North American English. For best results, hold the phone 3 to 6 inches from your mouth, and speak in a clear, normal voice. Avoid background noise, and note that recognition of unusual proper names can be difficult.

What about privacy?

ShoutOUT speech recognition is fully automated and learns over time—the transcription that appears on your handset is created with no human intervention whatsoever. ShoutOUT does not upload your contacts to any server.
